I think it’s totally bugged.
I recently started using it with Kira to try it out (I like katana and you can’t get that one+extra supplies), but everyone kept telling me that extra supplies+extra boom are the best augments for Kira.
Normaly my laser time is 40 sec, with extra supplies it should be 32 sec, instead it’s 50 sec, like wtf?
I also tried extra supplies on Skyhammer and I got 1 min and 20 secs.
You’re right that extra supplies is not very useful on mercs like Kira and Stoker who have ammo station, it’s more useful on Skyhammer and Arty for the ammo packs. And of course on all of the medics!
